The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle : Turton, Stuart: desertcart.in: Books Review: Hats off - It was one of the most phenomenal mystery thriller book i have ever read. The plot is exceptional, characters outstanding and climax no one could ever think of. Hats off to the author. Review: A mind bending murder mystery . - One of my favourite boardgames as a child was ‘cluedo’ where the players have to figure out who killed ‘Mr.Black’ with the backdrop being Tudor Mansion . Replace both with Evelyn Hardcastle and Blackheath estate respectively and you get an ingeniously constructed literary derivative of the game . . . Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered everyday in Blackheath at a party thrown in her honour And everyday , Aiden Bishop will be too late to save her . At the break of each new dawn , Aiden finds himself in the body of a different guest or ‘hosts’ as the fateful day resets itself all over again . He only gets 8 such hosts , meaning he only has 8 chances to reveal the identity of Evelyn’s murderer, else he is doomed to repeat the loop once again and never escape Blackheath . . . I had high hopes for this book and to say that it exceeded expectations would be an understatement . It is a labyrinth of layers with numerous perspectives , multiple time lapses and meticulously calculated , well placed twists on every page . Even though Aiden Bishop’s character takes on different hosts and their traits , we never truly lose sight of his true self . Aside from being a mind bending murder mystery , ‘The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle’ is a tale of forgiveness and redemption at it’s core . A must read indeed !

A mind bending murder mystery .
One of my favourite boardgames as a child was ‘cluedo’ where the players have to figure out who killed ‘Mr.Black’ with the backdrop being Tudor Mansion . Replace both with Evelyn Hardcastle and Blackheath estate respectively and you get an ingeniously constructed literary derivative of the game . . . Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered everyday in Blackheath at a party thrown in her honour And everyday , Aiden Bishop will be too late to save her . At the break of each new dawn , Aiden finds himself in the body of a different guest or ‘hosts’ as the fateful day resets itself all over again . He only gets 8 such hosts , meaning he only has 8 chances to reveal the identity of Evelyn’s murderer, else he is doomed to repeat the loop once again and never escape Blackheath . . . I had high hopes for this book and to say that it exceeded expectations would be an understatement . It is a labyrinth of layers with numerous perspectives , multiple time lapses and meticulously calculated , well placed twists on every page . Even though Aiden Bishop’s character takes on different hosts and their traits , we never truly lose sight of his true self . Aside from being a mind bending murder mystery , ‘The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle’ is a tale of forgiveness and redemption at it’s core . A must read indeed !

Intriguing
It was a great read. Very time loopy. Innovative concept. Good fiction mystery novel. Keeps you entertained but you need to pay attention as it goes through many stages.

Like Agatha Christie... But not
This book definitely keeps you asking. The tie up of the time travel and explanation for why things are happening is very well thought out. You can see the author's thoughts and research behind the very solid writing.

The ending will blow your mind!
This book will give you details like none other and the mental image will come easily to the reader. Though the book requires patience especially since you are constantly rooting for the characters to finally be rid of their mysteries (and miseries) but they keep failing. But the ending is worth it and the way the picture is completed in the end.. oh it’s a sweet sweet reward!

A Locked Room Mystery Like No Other - Agatha Christie Lovers Would Love
This book becomes unputdownable from the get go and people who love murder mysteries would love the unique story behind it. Every character is a treat! And for a murder mystery, the author weaves a gorgeous fantastical tale where you're less concerned by the solution and more by his sanity. Amazing!

Maravillosamente escrito, es un puzzle que hay que ir resolviendo conforme avanza el relato. A veces es algo lioso pero el autor hace breves recapitulaciones de vez en cuando que ayudan a seguir el hilo de la historia. Totalmente inesperado y con unos giros en la trama absolutamente asombrosos. Recomiendo muchísimo su lectura, sobre todo si te gusta el misterio y las distopías.

This book is one of the best books I ever read. I came upon it by pure chance and I’m so happy I did. From the first page to the last this story is unbelievable and I couldn’t put the book down. It’s so cleverly written and it’s so unpredictable it keeps you on the edge of the seat. I highly recommend reading it.

**no spoilers** What a brilliant concept - whoever called it "Agatha Christie meets Groundhog Day" was spot on. You start off without an ounce of understanding of what's going on, just like the hero of the novel, and gradually work your way through a highly complex mystery. Warning: the plot twists might keep you up all night! Kudos to the writer.

Amazing book! It's got the classic feeling of an Agatha Christie's whodunnit, but with an amazingly clever twist. It will leave you at the edge of your seat trying to figure things out. One of the best reads I've had in the last years. 10/10.
